'My mommy is the best'

Tender love

Priyanka Upendra

“I make sure that I meet and talk to my mother and mother-in-law on a regular basis. This year however, I will be going to my mother’s house in Kolkata to spend the Mother’s Day with her. There are so many things that my mother has taught me and I would love to pass those to my children. One thing that has stuck with me all these years is to be true to myself and stress on education.”

“My mother has always been my pillar of strength and she is one person I look up to in the time of crisis. She always remains positive and cheerful and advises me not to be disheartened as there is a solution for everything.

Generally, on Mother’s Day, my father and I cook a meal for her or we all head out for a family outing.

This year, I really want to make her feel super special so I’ve planned to take her out for shopping.”

“My mother is the strongest woman I have known. She has borne 10 children and I am the youngest. I have seen her handle all of us and give each one of us equal love.
Seeing her I understood what sacrifice means for a mother. That’s why on Mother’s Day I want to salute every mother for their strength and love.”

“Every time I go for shooting, my mother accompanies me and I see her sitting all alone watching the shoot and looking after me so well. That’s why I make sure everyday I chip in with household work and make her feel special and treat everyday as a Mother’s Day.”

“I am very close to my family, especially my mother. I have always admired her strength.
What many people don’t know about my mother is that she is a lovely singer and an amazing guitarist. When I was a kid, she would always play and sing for me and I wanted to be like her. Though we never celebrated Mother’s Day, I used to give her little
handmade cards as a kid, but now I can hardly find time to make any. This year, I have planned a special gift for her.”
